36ers import Jacobsen injured, reduced role at ABC

ERIC Jacobsen took an elbow to the head at Adelaide 36ers practice today creating a minor setback to its plans for the NBL's Australian Basketball Challenge in Brisbane.

The four-day pre-season tournament featuring the eight NBL teams and two clubs from China’s CBA, tips off at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Friday.

In a stroke of good fortune, the 36ers aren’t scheduled to play their first game until Saturday against Cairns Taipans.

Coach Joey Wright and his team will leave tomorrow but Jacobsen, 22 and a 208cm centre recruited from the Arizona State Sun Devils via Cleveland Cavaliers’ NBA Summer League team, now will not fly until Friday.

"Yeah, he got hit in the Perth game but if he'd had concussion then, we wouldn’t have put him back in," Wright said."

Never heard so much rubbish.You either have concussion or not. There is no middle ground. Using the excuse of "if he’d had concussion then, we wouldn’t have put him back in" is simply a cop out. At the very least 1 week.
Oh he had a mild concussion should never be ever uttered. The AFL set the rules have all the science behind it and are the worst offenders at breaking their own rules.
Please ensure the NBL doesn't follow suit.

Flying 2 days later isn't an option either Joey.

Joey spinning more shit as usual. Crazy how so many believe his every word. I'm still recovering from Lucas walker being able to play all 5 spots.

No way joey wouldn't have pushed for Jacobsen to go back in. Hell he caused motum grief over a leg injury labelling him soft until it was later worked out that motum has a minor fracture in the leg.
